Johnny, purchase/install a compatible wireless router (e.g., Dlink, Linksys, Belkin, SMC, etc). That's it..

Does your PC have 2 NICs?

If your PC got 2 network adapters (Ethernet network adapter or wireless adapter), then you can enable Internet Connection Sharing to share the Internet connection with labtop.
If not, get a router to set up wireless network or Ethernet network.
Hope this helps..

j, is your broadband modem a wireless router OR did you purchase one??? once up connect up a wireless router, you will be good 2 go...
if you want, you can confirm that you have a wireless network card. under network connections > lan or HS internet, check your network cards for the word wireless a/o 803.11x..
